NUVIA - a new CPU startup to challenge AMD and Intel?

[zx128k]

Vince, yet again is right, i was wrong, i looked again at it. AMD64 does contain some Intel IP, there has also been some legal wrangling over some of it with AMD capitulating. Intel and AMD are joined at the hip, IP wars between them has them owning bits of X86_64 between them.

This is stuff from as far back as approx. 2001, I would have to look it up again to make sure I got it right and I am sure everyone else would too.

I wouldn't go as far as right. A real expert will be able to give a much deeper dive as to what is likely in that licence agreement and probably pick me up on various bits of "fluff" in my posts. Generally in licensing, specifically software, anything made using a technology which is already licensed carries the same license on which it was based, obviously there are exceptions as that kind of license would be useless with something like visual studio, anyway we were doing a quantum computing project (for a quantum computing compiler) for which I was asked to audit code only a few weeks ago and we ran into exactly this. Really interesting and the guy that's looking to protect his work incredibly intelligent.

I've still got qubits on the brain since that work and I still don't fully understand it even after asking a million times to "explain that again". Luckily I don't need to understand it fully my job at that point is to trawl through code looking for things like calls and integration of current and known quantum code. You would be surprised by the amount of licensed quantum code on github.

The word Quantum brings up mind bending riddles in my mind like something not existing unless you see it but also exiting everywhere at the same time.... you can keep that ####, no thank you

Yea I wont lie I still don't fully understand, I did try following it all through to properly try and understand what was going on but it was well beyond me on a Monday morning.

Don't think it deserves a thread of it's own, but Via also have a new CPU:
